If you haven't already registered, do the following: 1. To file an issue you must register with OOo by clicking the My Pages tab and selecting the Register link http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/Join 2. Fill in your information 3. Reply to the confirmation email that will be sent to the address you provided. 4. Once you have confirmed, go to www.openoffice.org again 5. And click on the "My Pages" tab from which you can file and find issues. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It is important that you file any examples with the issue to ensure your need is understood. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST. OpenOffice.org Documentation Co-Lead http://documentation.openoffice.org/
Actually I don't consider it to be such a great enhancement, as I wrote at the beginning of the thread I just reported an issue raised in the Italian users list. I will consider raising an RFE even if I ran out of votes already... Thanks for this and the above suggestions anyway. Cheers, Michele
